This is done on a year to year basis for the top teams...as is the home/away arrangement. Denver has NEVER played 3 out of 4 on the road to start a season...the rest of the AFCW has like 35 times combined.
Giving NE a home Thursday game vs. the 4-12 Colts...then a home game on 10 days rest vs. KC was a nice touch.

You are a complete dumb****.
Here's the system:
1. 6 games versus division opponents, 1 home and 1 away versus each.
2. 4 games against one NFC division, on a rotating basis. Home/away determined years in advance.
3. 4 games against one AFC division, on a rotating basis. Home/away determined years in advance.
4. That's 14 games. The final two are against the two teams in your conference, in a division other than your own or the one you are playing against all of. The two games will be against the two teams in those divisions who had an identical finish in the year before, as you did in your division. In other words, the AFC West is playing the AFC North next year, and KC finishes first, then next year they would play the AFC East and AFC South teams that finished first.
Then, the prior offseason the computer spits out options the exact schedule for when those 16 games will occur. There are MANY parameters on that. For example, NFL games can't overlap with baseball games in a shared stadium, and there can't be too many prime time games for any given team, or too many Thursday night games, etc. etc. etc.
More than you would ever want to know on that:

As for the rest, it just shows you're a whiny little pussy. The Patriots started with 3 out of 4 road games as recently as 2014. But who the **** cares? Every road game has an away game to match. Every short week has a long week after. JFC, can you bitch and moan more?
